April 27 2014 was a good morning

Took my daughter fishing (24) she like to see the sunrise, the lake was like glass, 3 hours later we were pounding white caps trying to get back to the dock! The leave are just starting to open up here in Virginia.

Nice! The image tags say this is Lake Drummond, right? Not many fishermen make it to Drummond.

Stunning sunrise pics…

Greg, that's a sight that very few people have seen or will see--including me.

Lake Drummond is located in the middle of the Dismal Swamp, there's no easy way to get to it, and you can't use a boat of any size. Should you make it to the lake, it's not the safest place to fish. It's a 3,100 acre puddle (max depth is 6') that becomes dangerously rough if there's more than an little wind. Since you're in the middle of a swamp, there are no landmarks to help you find your way back to point where you launched (thank goodness for GPS devices!) and it's not likely there will be anyone around to help you if you get into trouble. There are enough mosquitoes to lift your boat out of the water, the water pH level is low enough to dissolve fishhooks, and the place is haunted.

This tree is over 20 feet in diameter, they say it is over a thousand years old, the tree growth looks like ghost. Took my daughter there one time and told her you could hear the Indian drums sometimes and like magic there were drums! (boy scouts camped on the island about a 1/4 mile away. The water is black and gets very hot. Strange thing about sounds you can hear a conversation 3 miles across the lake at normal voice levels, you think they are close by.
